UPDATE: Joseph Arpin waived his right to a detention hearing on Thursday, Feb. 20, and is held without bond. He pleaded not guilty to three charges.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A California man accused of picking up a 13-year-old Hamilton girl he met on the Internet will be arraigned Thursday, Feb. 20, in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids.

A detention hearing for Joseph Young Arpin, 34, is also set before Magistrate Judge Joseph Scoville.

Police arrested Arpin on Oct. 22 in Crestwood, Mo., after the girl’s mother reported her missing. The girl wrote her mother a note saying she wanted to be with Arpin. Police determined the two had an online relationship before Arpin picked up the girl.

He is facing charges of enticement and attempted enticement of a minor, travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor, and transportation with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity with a minor.

Arpin, who lives in San Jacinto, Calif., traveled to Michigan in October. He allegedly had contact with her over the Internet beginning in July.
